why would that be dangerous?

That was my plan but 1 hr with a lawyer and $300 fee, the guy saved my heirs almost 100x that amount in taxes by using obscure laws that I had no idea existed. Lesson learned.

ranks right up there with "emergency takeoff" "Capt, looks like a line of weather moving in" "That's okay, we'll be doing an emergency takeoff today so it should't be a problem"

There’s no prohibition against using an exp airplane for YE flights. That’s the most common type used.

“If I were to donate my Extra to AOPA, would the association have a purpose for it?” Heck yeah, we'll up the membership fees so staff can fly it at no cost until it's trashed, then raffle it off. Good on BruceAir, his heart's in the right place. Give someone an occasional airplane ride. Let...

Good news! You'll only need 1200 hrs for Part 135 IFR (in the right portions). You'll need capital and know-how to get started. You'll need an ATCO certificate, which is a lot of red tape. You'll need a plane that is up to spec, you'll need to do checkrides every 6 months with the FAA and most...

She owns the plane and you are hired to fly it. That's how corporate flying works. Perfectly legit. It doesn't matter if you give instruction or not. One of the best jobs I had was flying a lawyer in his Turbo Arrow IV. He scared the $&!+ out of himself in the clouds once and wouldn't fly alone...

If there is not enough governed oil pressure, can't push the prop to low pitch which means no max RPM.

Flying a plane for an operator is not going to teach you much about setting up or running a 135 business. You'd do just as well to jump in. Modifying an existing certificate is always easier than initial startup.

Remove the rudder. At that point if you see doubler, AD inspection complete. If no doubler, might have to remove lower rudder bearing support. If the doubler is not there, I would install it. That part of the plane takes a beating and it's highly unlikely to have no cracks if there is no doubler.

If it were mine I would repair the engine: Disassemble, clean, inspect, replace the cam and other parts as needed, reassemble, go fly.

Not sure what size and scope company you have in mind. If you don't have a plane, this is the first term you'll need to know. To start a 135 company, you'll need exclusive use of an aircraft. The FAA defines “exclusive use" for purposes of § 135.25(c) by stating a person has exclusive of use...

full throttle till the wheels are chocked, then pull the throttle.

I would guess Aeromedical asked for something specific and didn't get it. Dr.'s that don't deal with the FAA sometimes have trouble with FAA details.

It depends on what information you didn't provide and whether or not it was required for you to hold your current medical, if you do in fact currently hold a medical or if your medical was deferred until more information was provided. Stick close to the mailbox because you'll be getting a return...

While not excluded from using Class E they are low man on the totem pole. They have to yield right-of-way to all aircraft and they can't operate in a manner that creates a collision hazard with respect to any aircraft.

Why only paragliders?

Will you need a loan to pay for operating expenses as well? They will make the purchase price look like pocket change. All you need to do is request a loan app, fill in the blanks and wait for approved or denied.

But sometimes it is. What happens when the student is not eligible to serve as pilot in command?

so he sits in the back seat with the student and instructs while another pilot flies?
